Everyone expects video-game publisher Rockstar to push the boundaries when it comes to crime. From the delinquent behavior in Bully to train robberies in the Old West, Rockstar is in the business of bringing crazy crimes to life. Unfortunately, so are everyday people, who may even inadvertently find themselves re-enacting favorite scenes from video games.

What do you do when you really, really need a bottle of booze? According to LAD Bible, one Russian found the answer in a nearby military training ground.

A Tulsa woman has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for sexually molesting a toddler and sending videos of the sex acts to her online boyfriend, PEOPLE confirms.

Jerrica Ann Renee Teehee Lackey, 30, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a child under the age of 12, according to court records.

Lackey was arrested in May after she called 911 and admitted to molesting the 16-month-old girl, according to a criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE.

The call came after the girl’s father found sexual videos and pictures of his daughter on Lackey’s phone. Police alleged the images were sent to a man she says she was dating in Florida over the chat app Kik.

When the father told Lackey he was going to call police, Lackey, whose username on the app was “DaddysPrincess7787”, called 911 and turned herself in, according to the complaint.

Police have charged Lamora Williams with two counts of murder in the deaths of her 1- and 2-year-old sons after Atlanta police officials discovered the children with burn marks, officials have said.

Williams, 24, is currently being held in the Fulton County Jail after waiving her first appearance in front of a judge on Monday, according to online jail records. She is reportedly being held without bond and no court date has been set, multiple reports say. PEOPLE’s attempts to reach a spokesperson for the Fulton County Superior Court were unsuccessful.

An Atlanta mom is accused of murdering two of her young sons and then placing a video call to the children’s father to show him the scene, according to multiple local news reports.

Lamora Williams, 24, is charged with two counts of murder, according to the Atlanta Police Department.

Authorities have not released her children’s cause of death, but Atlanta police said that according to a preliminary investigation, the unnamed boys — ages 1 and 2 – “received burn marks on their bodies at some point, possibly from the stove.”

Williams allegedly told police she had left the children in the care of a relative about noon on Friday and found them dead about 11:30 that night, when she returned home.

However, “at this time investigators do not believe the children’s mother left them with a caregiver,” according to the police statement.
